Thinner Product Data Sheet

Product
ENVIRO-THIN™ thinner is a modified iron lignosulfonate that helps to control rheological and filtration
Description
properties of water-based drilling fluids that contain large amounts of drill solids. ENVIRO-THIN thinner can
be used to maintain all dispersed water-based drilling fluids. It works effectively to reduce the effect of
contaminants at a pH of 9.0 and above and is effective at temperatures up to 325°F (160°C). ENVIRO-THIN
thinner contains no chrome and is environmentally more responsible than heavy metal containing
lignosulfonate thinners.

Applications / • Helps reduce flow properties in all kinds of water-based drilling fluids
Functions • Helps provide effective control of filtration rates of water-based muds approaching 325°F (160°C)

Advantages • Chrome-free, low toxicity thinner for environmentally sensitive areas

• Helps provide effective contaminant tolerance against drilled solids, salt, cement, and anhydrite
• Is stable at temperatures approaching 325°F (160°C)
• Effective at low pH ranges (8.0-9.5)

Typical • Appearance Dark powder

Properties • pH, (5% aqueous solution) 3.5
